Traditional Lelé María Mexican Dolls Handcrafted in Amealco de Bonfil by the Community of Santiago Mexquititlan, Querétaro 

The beautiful Lele dolls are iconic Mexican images and true works of art from the Otomí (Hñäñhu) community. "Lelé" in Otomí means baby, so that is what these dolls are: a baby doll. 

This doll is a unique and special craft made by hand, with traditional needles, mainly produced by women from the community of Santiago de Mexquititlán, in Amealco de Bonfil, Queretaro, who have passed on this artisan tradition from generation to generation. 

 

Among its characteristic features are the long braids with crowns and bows of cheerful colors and its traditional dress that presents flora and fauna, representative of the traditional clothing of its creators.
